    His play looks awfully like Deandre Jordan. With his wingspan making up for his slight lack of height, I think he'll make a perfect backup center.

    Can play pick and roll just like Dwight. Block shots and rebound the ball and if he can play defence in the NBA he just might be the backup center we're looking for.

    Rockets getting solid moves after the Bosh/Parson fiasco.... Though I am happy for Parson looking out for himself (can't blame a guy for taking 46 million guaranteed!!!)

    Ariza, Daniels, Capella are good moves. Especailly with Capella being sent to the D-League after he signs.

    Beverly
    Harden/Daniels
    Ariza
    Jones/DMo
    Howard

    Make a solid NBA squad. If the chemistry develops, and team catches fire at the right time, I see a deep run into the playoffs.

    Now that Parsons is gone, we can finally look at other SF/PF hybrids

    He will need to put on a lot of muscle for that. Im thinking a PF that plays vs backup C's at first.

    I am joking. We can find another gem no matter what position.

    Like it if we can get him to come over and have him play at RGV for the year to work on the fundamentals. He's young, let's develop him with us.

    Anybody find it weird that he's right handed but blocks shot almost exclusively left handed???? Plus his length and hops make it look like he's playing on a 9ft rim....

    Only when we go small. Too light to bang in post at current size.

    Sorely undervalued skillset by Morey.

    We should stash him over seas like the Euro he is. He's too raw to help us this year. Then again, that's what people were saying about the Greek freak and look how he turned out in Milwaukee.

    He only needs to rebound and defend. Thabeet just failed at being too dumb to even do that on pro level... wonder how he had done it in college

    Physically he reminds me of Mo Malone. Wouldn't that be nice!

    Shane Battier - retired, NCAAB commentator now
    Micheal Beasley - I don't know...
    Chauncy Billups - considering a position with Denver FO
    Rodney Stuckey - Maybe, but I'd rather try to bring over Llull
    Ray Allen - pursuing him, but he is considering retirement
